Common Roof Problems

Accumulation of leaves

As strong winds sweep the branches of the trees, leaves fall, pile up and can accumulate in your gutters – eventually becoming a major problem when the leaves block the flow of water that is trying to safely and efficiently move through your guttering system when it rains. The worst season for falling leaves is just before winter. After winter, water will pour without a passage to move on to through your gutter quite freely (if you have cleaned them out well). Leaves blocking your gutters isn’t just detrimental to the safe runoff of rainwater from your roof, gutters too full of leaf debris can also cause your guttering system to buckle or your roof to cave in. Blocked Gutters is one on those Common Roof Problems that is very easy to prevent yet it happens more frequently than it should.
